There's a Savage 99 in .308 with a stock two inches shorter than normal floating around in my family that's been nicknamed The Beast. It's a good rifle. I got my first buck with it.

I also hate it with a loving passion because somehow it manages to kick harder than 7mm Rem Mag, or dad's .411 KDF from his guiding days. Goddamn thing gave me a bruise every time I fired it(I was 12, loving thing gave me a flinch it took five years to get over)

I do want one of those, but the one I am thinking of was a straight-pull bolt-action that looked like genericautoloader.

Stevens 124. Be warned, they are incredibly lovely. The handle is a cross bolt locking lug which has to be pulled out to cycle the action. One that I owned, and a couple that I've seen were peened to the point where you had to beat the handle out with a punch, screwdriver, or rock. Also the bolt release can act as a second trigger. Makes the Winchester 1911 look like a good idea.

I want this so badly you have no idea. A semi auto/bolt action 22 is insanely cool to me.

And look at that teeny tiny magazine!

I have a super cool old Walther Model 2 that does exactly this, but it had a badly split stock when I bought it, and I sent it to Dad's for him to fix. His cleaning lady promptly moved the bag o' parts with the screws, trigger guard, magazine and assorted other little bits, and the goddamn thing has never been seen again. It was a really neat action, and I have been keeping the Oddities thread afloat for a year hoping to find that bag of gun parts.

So I packed up my Salvador Dali print of two blindfolded dental hygienists trying to make a circle on an Etch-a-Sketch and headed for California.

Could you theoretically do that to any semiauto .22lr? I'm picturing a bolt attachment and stock replacement for a 10/22 that does this. Am I an idiot or could this be done without damaging the action during firing?

yes. hold the bolt forward on any semi while firing and congrats, you've created a bolt action rifle

I agree with all of those things. There are a few 4566TSWs on GB right now from the same seller, I was drooling over them earlier and seriously considering buying one until I realized they were DAO. If it were DA/SA or SAO I'd have been all over that poo poo.

There is an idea of a Yuns, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory, and though I can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable: I simply am not there.

I'm interested in ordering a Korth PRS in this plasma blue PVD finish except in a 6" barrel model with the barrel weight on the end. If I have a a choice in grips, I'll go with a wood burl.

I just remembered that the brits experimented with M1 Garands chambered in .280 British after the war and goddamnit now I'm sad all over again that the US managed to shove 7.62x51 down everyone's throats. A true intermediate cartridge in a Garand, FAL, M14, G3. . . god that would have been amazing.
